MICROCONTROLLER PRODUCT SELECTOR GUIDE FALL 2012 www.silabs.com Robust Tools, Software and Support Our developer ecosystem ensures that you’ll have everything you need to hit the ground running. Advanced debug features enable you to fully develop and integrate hardware and software design. More Functionality Per Millimeter Say goodbye to wasted space and say hello to highest functional density. By incorporating advanced 8051 mixed-signal functions in standard CMOS, we pack in more per square millimeter than competing solutions—all without sacrificing performance or power budget. Cut Costs, Not Features Designing responsibly isn’t just for the save the planet crowd. Our high level of integration allows for external component replacement—reducing system complexity can mean significant system-wide cost savings.
